I finished my sketchbook for the Sketchbook Project and posted it on Wednesday. I didn’t get started till the Christmas Holidays so it’s a bit slapdash, but on the other hand that stopped me from being too precious about it, and it’s basically a whole lot of ‘I’ll try this and see what happens’. I had chosen Lines and Grids for my theme, but I couldn’t think how to approach it, till I had a dream that I had stitched pairs of pages together to make them thicker – so that’s what I did, and worked into them with various media, and a bit of weaving and lacing. I would like to have spent more time on it but it was fun and I’m pleased I finished it.
I’ve uploaded pics of the whole thing to Art House Co-op, and on Flickr as a slideshow.
However, I recommend virtually leafing through some much more timeworthy sketchbooks, for example,
Fibrefrolics
Mixed Media
Dreaming Spirals
Stitching with Schnauzer and Siamese
